Resilience

The Wisconsin NERC warned Wednesday that parts of the upper Midwest face a “high risk” of energy emergencies under certain conditions, such as extreme heat or unexpected generator outages.

The “urban intelligence” software and mapping company helps public agencies prioritize climate resilience projects, among other tasks. The fresh capital will go toward tools addressing climate vulnerability.

El Dorado County government officials released a five-minute video Tuesday in which residents plead with President Biden to grant “individual assistance” to survivors of last summer’s disastrous Caldor Fire.

The days after the tornado were filled with remarkable stories of park residents who rode out the storm amid crumbling walls, flying debris and golf ball-sized hail. The massive cleanup attracted hundreds of volunteers from across the Midwest.

Grid conditions are better than they were this weekend, experts say. That’s because five of the six power plants that went offline Friday are back online. Those five make up about 2,500 megawatts of the almost 3,000 that were lost.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-11th Dist., would provide new funding for the NOAA to conduct studies and collect data that take into account the impacts of climate change.

The nurses, as well as their administrators and educators, are not letting the moment pass without making some changes to better equip nurses physically and emotionally for the job.

Scott Evans, Atlantic City's fire chief and emergency management coordinator, said the city saw moderate erosion toward the area in front of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Ocean Casino Resort.

Since late March, California’s case rate has nearly tripled and the Bay Area — which historically experienced a lower case rate than the rest of the state — has emerged as a COVID-19 hot spot.

Since the New York State Wastewater Surveillance dashboard went live in January, some county health officials, including in Albany, have used it to alert communities of elevated coronavirus rates.

The Huebner Creek Flood Mitigation Project would remove several properties from the 100-year floodplain along the creek — by realigning and widening the channel in the creek — and provide for erosion control.

"From flooding in the east to power outages in the west, to record April snowfall depleting snow removal budgets and hitting ranchers hard during calving season, this April has been an extremely challenging month."

Despite the movement upward within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention community levels, there are no plans to reintroduce past mitigation requirements in King County, Wash.

The site has an abundance of information for women interested in emergency management and related fields, including a resume section, a data section, articles and lists of colleges and universities for training.

“There’s no doubt that the risk towards Clatsop County regarding earthquakes, tsunamis and windstorms, and any other form of natural disaster, is high.”

After an inspection last year revealed that the dam was increasingly at risk of breaching during heavy rainstorms, the conservancy closed the area to visitors and temporary measures were taken to lower the water level.

“The ultimate goal is to produce maps that can be used by communities as planning tools to help develop, maybe, adaptation strategies for sea level rise and ultimately, help the areas become more resilient.”

Increased streamflow — the rate at which water is carried by rivers and streams — could be seen as a boon for the drought-stricken Western United States. But too much water comes with hazards.
